Controlling the contrast of your film or video image is critical. Bright lights or sunlight create problems when the ration between the highlight and shadow areas is beyond the latitude of the recording medium. If you expose for the highlights the shadows appear without detail. If you expose for the shadows, the result is washed-out overly bright highlights.

ULTRA CONTRAST filter work with ambient light from surrounding, lowering contrast uniformly through the scene. Shadow areas reveal more detail without any flare or halation from light sources or bright reflections, even direct shooting into the sun.

Use Ultra Contrast filters in scenes with sufficient brightness to lower the contrast without the minimal amount of flare produced by the Low Contrast and Soft Contrast filters.
